Speak,memory',said Vladimir Nabokov. And immediately there came flooding back to him a host of enchanting recollections - of his comfortable childhood and adolescence,of his rich,liberal-minded father,his beautiful mother,an army of relations and family hangers-on and of grand old houses in St Petersburg and the surrounding countryside in pre-Revolutionary Russia. Young love,butterflies,tutors and a multitude of other themes thread together to weave an autobiography,which is itself a work of art.
